Spiritual Awakenings: New Years Day Brunch at the JC’s Hall in Hollywood FL

RCM: Our CARR report workshop that we are combining with the regional CARR workshop will be this Sat 1pm 200 Westonroad next to the Bonaventure hotel and spa.

I delivered the CARR reports to groups this week. Region is this weekend.

Area has to move, we can meet here next month but in February we will be meeting somewhere else. The time will have to move depending on the location and who we will be able to contract with. Next month will be the last here. We have two other locations we can choose from, and admin will make a decision. It is very likely that the time for area will move to noon. We will discuss the details in New Business.

The Journey Begins: I’d like to request that the minutes be in PDF format.

ALT RCM: Were not able to vote on regional motions due to the format and size of attachments. The PR review was not visible.

Secretary: I am unable to edit your reports or any regional documentation. I am just the messenger who forwards information that is given to me.

Vice Chair:We are looking between Shriners and WBC for the next area, but if anyone is aware of another meeting room that is available. WE are spending $50 for this space so we would like to stay in the budget but we will have to roll with God presents us. We are unable to work it out here.

Treasurer:

I’m chachy and I'm an addict, the last 2 months we have changed stuff in literature and treasurer. Today was a good day because you all came early and we got all the money counted. All business needs to be done at area. People are calling me after area with questions but all of this stuff needs to be brought up in area. Last month people were very disrespectful, and if you’re going to be disrespecting me, you’re going to be disrespected back. We are treasures we are not literature. People want to as for money like crazy but realize we don’t have much money so be mindful. I’m not area, I’m treasurer, so if you need to bring something up to area do that but don’t bring it up to me. Thank You.

NO REPORT SUBMITTED

Secretary:

Ashley Addict,

I didn’t attach anything to the minutes, I will now copy and paste everything into one document. In order to store everything in the archives. The next thing I just want to confirm again is that I can’t edit reports, I just transfer information. Some people sent me emails this month stating certain reports didn’t make sense. I am just the messenger I don’t change the message. I copy and paste information and reports. I do need everyone to send me their reports, that is not happening. It looks like people aren’t doing their jobs when they actually are; they are just not doing the part when they send me the report. The last thing is that I don’t know if I can commit to the Admin meeting and if that’s in policy for my position I’m not sure if I can fulfill this commitment. I do apologize for the last minutes being late; I am doing my best to find balance with my recovery and having a baby.

RCM:

Alt GSR: Can you give the GSR’s a brief explanation of what the CAR report is?

RCM- the Conference Agenda Report which is where all the regions in the world have a meeting like we are having a meeting for our Area right now that happens on the World level. Motions that are brought up in region are brought up in World Conference, It happens every other year at this point in California. So it’s basically an area meeting for the whole world. That’s a brief description. There are 25 motions in the CAR report this year. These motions are old business. The new business is is our regional

linternational trust agreement review will be discussed at the conference. There is a lot happening in this agenda for the world conference. It’s very important that you get informed and get involved

ALT RCM: When to the groups vote on these motions?

RCM: We will be voting on them in March or April Area and our votes will go back to region in April and the World Conference is after that.

South Broward Helpline/Public Relations December Report

Greetings from your Helpline/Public Relations subcommittee. We last met on November 16,2017. Of our 13 current members we had 10 in attendance. Due to time constraints, we were unable to participate in several health fairs with our PR booth. Our new email address for those wishing more information regarding Public Relations is now on our website. Our business card template with our Helpline number and email address were approved by committee members and we will have 500 printed. The chair and Barry have not met for chairs training on keeping our meetings current on NA.ORG. Our poster day has been postponed until after the first of the year. Public Relation documents including our PR policy, PR Boot Camp, Poster Day Guidelines and Helpline Orientation were distributed to members present. All our phone shifts are currently covered. For the month of November, we received 73 calls for live person, 2 for activities, 7 for subcommittees and 22 for particular days of the week. Steven

H&I Chair: Ryan W.
